Description

George Perez and Sam Grainger - Original Splash Page Art for The
Avengers # 143, page 1 (Marvel, 1976). Kid Colt draws his
pistol on a bandit leader in this gritty splash page from issue
#143 of The Avengers #143. Thor and Moondragon look on,
somewhat out of their element, in this time travelling Avengers
scene. This splash page to the story "Right Between the Eons!" was
brewed up over an open fire by writer Steve Englehart and artist
George Perez, with pencils by Perez and inks by Sam Grainger. The
overall art size is approximately 10.5" x 16" with an image area of
10" x 15". Although the art shows some signs of aging, especially
where some paste-ups have come off, which have left a deep yellow
strip along the top and bottom edges, this work as a whole is in
good condition. There is an interesting note along the top edge by
letterer, Tom Orzechowski, about writer Steve Englehart, mentioning
that he will: "supply me with the rest of this book as soon as he
finishes another couple of plots for Villain Team-Up and
Skull... or whatever." Signed by George Perez at the lower
left.
